Characterization of Biological Polymers by Laser Raman Scattering

  • Conference paper
POLYMER CHARACTERIZATION Interdisciplinary Approaches

Abstract

From Raman scattering we can measure certain vibrational frequencies of biological polymers, many of which cannot be obtained from infrared spectroscopy because of selection rules, intensity differences, or interference from solvent bands. The frequencies can be used to determine force fields of the polymers, and various spectral features can be used to perform structural studies on the polymers.
